1979: Renault's First Win
#OnThisDay 1 July, Jean-Pierre Jabouille won the 1979 French Grand Prix, but the race is best remembered for an epic final lap battle between Gilles Villeneuve and René Arnoux.
At the start, Villeneuve jumped from third on the grid to take the lead, with Jabouille in second and Jody Scheckter in third. Arnoux had a poor start, dropping to ninth, but he fought back to third by lap 15. Villeneuve’s Ferrari struggled with handling issues, allowing Jabouille to pass him for the lead.
The race then featured a dramatic fight for second place between Arnoux and Villeneuve, with the two drivers swapping positions and banging wheels. On the last corner, Arnoux drifted wide, and Villeneuve seized the opportunity to pass him on the inside, finishing just two-tenths of a second ahead.
This race was the first victory for Renault and the first for a turbocharged engine, a significant milestone in F1 history.
